Attorney Justin Smith is hands down the best. He is well known in the court room and presents himself very well. He was always there when I had a question or was worrying about something and would respond immediately. Do yourself a favor and use him for legal matters. This man did an awesome job and got my life back for me!

Choosing to having Attorney Justin Smith represent me was hands down the best decision, and one that I would make again without hesitation if in need. Attorney Smith is not only incredibly knowledgable in the field and highly respected, but he is also kind, compassionate, and genuine. He worked tirelessly on my case, handled each curve ball with grace, and the outcome was better than I could have ever imagined. Not to mention, he was there to answer every single question I had (no matter how trivial) and helped put me at ease every time I called. Attorney Smith helped me through several tough days without even knowing it, and I will be forever grateful. If you're reading this review, you're probably looking for someone to represent you and doing your research. Do yourself a favor and give Attorney Smith a call. I promise you will be in great hands and will not regret having him on your side. He's simply the best!

I was facing some pretty steep consequences when I contacted Attorney Sebald. He listened to my situation and did an amazing job with my case. I couldn't imagine getting the results I did. I'm definitely glad I was pointed in his direction and would recommend him to anyone that needs a good lawyer.
